The Al Nassr vs Al Ain game was a crazy match. Al Nassr was trailing 1-0 on the aggregate score before the game started yesterday. It got worse for Al Nassr as Al Ain scored two goals in the first half. Al Ain was 2-0 up and had a 3-0 lead on aggregate. Al Nassr got one back just before halftime to make it 2-1. In the second half, Al Nassr would find the equalizer and the lead in the game. Al Nassr was leading 3-2 after 90 minutes of regular time, and the aggregate score was 3-3. The game left extra time, and more drama arrived.
Al Nassr conceded again as Al Ain took advantage of a mistake by the Al Nassr keeper. Al Ain scored 3-3 on the regular score, but the aggregate was 4-3 in favor of them. Late in the second half of extra time, a foul in the box led to Ronaldo scoring the decisive penalty to give Al Nassr the 4-3 lead but the 4-4 aggregate draw. In penalties, Al Nassr missed three in the shootout and was eliminated from the competition at home. In what seems like a coincidence, Lionel Messi shocks Saudi Arabia.
